Hold until relieved!!!

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2003)

I own this movie and have always been impressed with the scenes of the British glider attack on the Orne Bridge, particularly with Richard Todd's role as Major John Howard. Little did I know that Mr. Todd served in the regiment that made that attack on D-Day! No wonder he played the part so convincingly. As for John Wayne, those who say that he was not a good actor should watch the scene where he enters Ste-Mère-Église and sees the dead paratroopers. His faces alone says it all. To me, "The Longest Day" remains THE movie about D-Day. Spielberg and "Saving Private Ryan" are in the back seat. **** out of ****
